Can I use it to deploy either client or server applications on windows? All configuration and deployment tools I've looked at seem like they assume the only deployment target is linux servers running web applications. I don't care about the web. I need a deployment tool that works for local research on my clients' analysts' desktops, not just devops on remote somewhere.
- detaro 9y agoHave you looked into the Windows features of Ansible or SaltStack? Would be interested to hear about experiences with them.
- reificator 9y agoI would like to adopt something for configuration of my personal machines. Desktop and tablet running Windows 10, laptop running macOS. If possible I'd prefer to use one tool for both OSes.
- mbrock 9y agoNix supposedly works in the new Linux subsystem of Windows 10, but I haven't tried it.
- FrozenCow 9y agoNix itself does indeed work on the latest version of WSL. However, there are still issues with building most of the packages from nixpkgs. For instance, I'm still waiting for this issue to be solved: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/1878 https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/1878 Other distros are also affected by these issues, so I think they'll be solved eventually.
